Several supporters of the H ail halts soccer defout To paraphrase an old boxing expression, they were saved by the hail. : j The scene: Salt Lake City's Riverside Park. The time: Saturday afternoon. The Park City High Rollers were playing Alemannia in a Major Division soccer game. It was just before the half. The High Rollers were losing 3-0. "Then the hail came down so hard it hurt your legs," reported Park City's Mike Walker. "It seemed like it cooled down about 20 degrees de-grees in about 10 minutes.". The referees called the game. j "In a way it was kind of a wasted trip," he said. i In spite of the 3-0 score, Walker did not sound dissatisfied dissat-isfied by the team's performance. perfor-mance. He pointed out that the team was missing its regular goalie, Matt York, as well as several other key players who are finding it difficult to tear themselves away from the ski slopes. "We had our normal hard time getting people out," he said. "I think we played okay considering we haven't played play-ed on grass in months." The High Rollers will try again Saturday when they travel to Edgemont Lions' Park in Provo for a game against the Provo Strikers. That game is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. Silver Kings lose round two Here's a good rule of thumb: don't try to schedule a sporting event for the same time that the NCAA basketball basket-ball finals are being played. The Park City Silver Kings learned this one the hard way Monday night as only 10 players showed up for the second game of a scheduled three-game series with the Snowbird hockey club. And by the time the game was over, only eight were still skating. The shortage of players took its toll as the Silver Kings were whipped soundly, sound-ly, 11-3. In addition, Park City lost the services of two regulars. Defenseman Dennis Orton was knocked out with a shoulder injury, and goal-tender goal-tender Brian Shields suffered suf-fered both a shoulder and an ankle injury during a pile-up in front of the net early in the second period. A Snowbird goalie filled in for the rest of the game. Park City's three goals came off the sticks of Steve Sullivan (2) and Greg Mc-Whinney. Mc-Whinney. Snowbird now leads the series 2-0. The schedule calls for a third game to be played Friday night at M'mwood Ice Arena. Howevt., Mc-Kinney Mc-Kinney indicated Wednesday morning that this game may be cancelled. At press time, no decision had been made. team were also recognized, including Jan Peterson, who organized a special benefit for the team last fall. Peterson was presented with a large framed color photograph photo-graph of himself with World Cup champion Phil Mahre and KUTV reporters Patrick Greenlaw and Terry Wood. Marsh said that the photograph photo-graph was taken to Japan so that Mahre could autograph it in time for the March 31 banquet. The only disappointing note of the evening came from Formichelli, popular coach of the JIH skiers, who announced that she would be cutting back her hours next season. "I feel like I need to make up for some lost time in Jupiter and ski in some old-lady races a little bit," she smiled. Although the banquet was intended to look back at the season, in fact some of the most crucial races have yet to be held. Many of the top JI and JII skiers on the Park City Ski Team are competing this week in the Western Region Spring Series at Incline Village and Slide Mountain. Meanwhile, the JIH, JIV and JV competitors are due to travel to Snowbird this weekend (Friday, Saturday Satur-day and Sunday) for the Intermountain Division championships. In the first results to come out of the Spring Series Tuesday, Eva Twardokens of the U.S. Ski Team was a runaway winner of the women's slalom held at Incline Village while Billy Dorris of McCall, Idaho won the men's giant slalom at Slide Mountain. In the women's slalom, the top Park City performer was Nicki Koch, who finished 12th. Other Park City finishers fin-ishers included Roxanne Toly (18th) and Andrea Peterson (25th). In the men's giant slalom, the best Park City time came from Aldo Stanisauljevic (9th). Close behind were Scott Williams (13th), Jason Lawson (18th) and Russell Shay (22nd). More results will be printed in next week's edition edi-tion of the Park City Newspaper. Utah skiers dominate bartender's Cup races The Bartender's Cup Regional Re-gional Finals were held in Aspen March 30 and when the powder had finally settled, set-tled, Utah had taken first and second place over the best in the West. Not bad for a dry state. The two teamswho upheld the state's honor represented Adolph's for Park City and The Haggis for Snowbird. In order to qualify for the regionals they won local competitions earlier this month. In Aspen they fated the ten best teams from the Western United States. Adolph's team consisted of some of Park City's best-Bill best-Bill Skinner, Karl Jacobson and Karri Hays. In Aspen, they met some familiar rivals in the Haggis team, made up of Victor Roy, Arch Wright and Linda Davis. The Haggis ended up in first place, but not without a protest from Adolph Imbo-den. Imbo-den. "They changed the rules and it worked to our disadvantage," claimed Im-boden. Im-boden. His team, he said, had won the time trials and the two morning rounds on Buttermilk. The Haggis won the two afternoon rounds which left them essentially tied. The winner was determined deter-mined finally by tallying the teams' total times. That, said Imboden, was a change from rules which had been the same for ten years. "I'm going to write to Miller," he added. Skinner, however, was pleased with the race. He emphasized the state's victory vic-tory over the other Western states instead of his team's loss to The Haggis. Skinner also brought home a clock for recording the fastest men's time and Linda Davis did the same for the women. J4 s It -'Jk- inoimtoni sis by Nan C&alai All the signs are in place. So where s spring? The sandhill cranes have returned, only two weeks late, and the hawks are back soaring over the ski areas. Several plump potguts have been spotted dashing across the highway, and there are all kinds of newborn critters on the ranches outside of town. The robins are back too, right on schedule. But certain vital signs are still lacking. Snowstorms, 50-mile-an-hour winds and avalanche warnings are not supposed to be part of the scenario. At this stage of the game they are downright depressing. In other parts of the country, kids are rolling Easter eggs on green lawns while Parkites are still following the snowplows to work. Which brings several of the old adages into question. What do robins know anyway? Maybe they are no better at predicting the weather than Bob Welti or Mark Eubank. They are out there now, beaks chattering, thinking "We made a big mistake." The cranes don't look too happy about it either, standing in the snow-swept fields on one cold foot and then the other grumbling, "Didn't the same thing happen to us last year?" Perhaps the notion of natural harmony has been overestimated. Migration may be due to nothing more than expired leases, rent overdue, some birdie version of cabin fever so they head north and hope for the best. They never intended to become a literal sign of spring and refuse liability for people who remove snow treads and down jackets on their account. For the moment, spring and summer will have to be taken on faith. And despite the snowdrifts, some measures should be taken to prepare for it. River running might seem like a rather frigid proposition at this point but it is appropriate to begin applying for private permits now. The Colorado, the Delores and the San Juan Rivers and the Green River through Desolation Canyon are all strictly governed by permits and, with apologies to the already overworked robin, the early bird gets the worm. . Desolation Canyon permits are issued on a first-come, first-serve basis and are available avail-able through the Price River Resource Area, P.O. Box AB, Price, Utah, 84501 (801-637-4584). Permits for the Colorado River through Westwater Canyon are assigned by drawings which are held two months prior to the requested dates. The season opens May 1 so the drawings have already begun. Westwater River traffic is limited to 35 people per day during the week and 75 people per day on the weekends. Competition for the weekend trips is always high. Applications for the Westwater section of the Colorado and for the Utah section of the Dolores River are available from the Grand Resource Area, P.O. Box M, Moab, Utah, 84532 (801-259-8193). Permits for the San Juan, also first-come, First-serve, are available from the San Juan Resource Area, P.O. Box 7, Monticello, Utah 84535. According to the BLM, permits are not required for Labyrinth Canyon on the Green River or for the Daily sections of the Green or Colorado Rivers. It wouldn't be a bad idea either to set the date now for family reunion and company picnics planned for Rockport State Park this summer. Rockport rangers set aside three areas for group reservations, one for day use and two for overnight use. Requests for these areas must be made in writing to Rockport State Park, Peoa, Utah 84601. Individuals may also request reservations for camping spaces in the Juniper Campground. Fees vary, depending on the size of the groups. The rangers will require a deposit to hold your reservation. So maybe the robins were wrong. Toss them a few seeds and bury your nose in gardening catalogs for at least another week. r 'Vr 4iS7 f J it v C Three Generations of Superb Quality and Service in Carpeting.
